Built to Spill

Back in 2012, when Built to Spill took the stage at the Stage On Sixth in Austin, they were riding high on the success of their album *There Is No Enemy*, which had dropped in 2009. This recording captures a band that, while not new to the scene, was still evolving musically and connecting with fans on a visceral level. It's a moment steeped in the band's trademark sound—melodic yet complex, balanced with introspective lyrics and jangly guitar work. Interestingly, this live performance highlights their knack for spontaneous improvisation; fans often relished how Built to Spill could reinterpret their songs in real-time, making each show a unique experience. And let's face it, who doesn’t love the thrill of that unexpected twist in a familiar tune? It's a testament to their artistry and passion, even years into their career.
